A text string is a series of characters that is interpreted as a unit. Unlike characters that make up an expression, the characters in a text string don’t usually appear in italics and aren’t multiplied together.
Text strings have no mathematical meaning in FrameMaker. For example, evaluation commands can evaluate the function tan but not the string “tan”.
